Youth Forum - Have your Say

Local Youth Forums in Edinburgh

Local Youth Forums are a chance for you to have your say on
issues that affect your life. We work closely with the 12
Neighbourhood Partnerships set up across the city, so we can affect
decisions made at a local level, all the way up to the highest
level in government.

You can choose how your Youth Forum works, the issues you deal
with and even the name.

You can make a difference!

We look at all sorts of local issues including:

Local transport such as buses and trams

Parks and Graffiti

Schools and after school activities

Healthy eating and smoking

Crime

Sports facilities and clubs

The Neighbourhood Partnerships work to improve the quality of
life in each area, so the opinions and suggestions made at Local
Youth Forms are important to them.

We also make links with other organisations representing young
people. They include:

Pupil/student councils

Scottish Youth Parliament

Edinburgh Youth Council

You could attend meetings with these groups to tell them about
your opinions and solutions to the issues that you feel are
important. The forums are supported by youth workers from your
local community learning and development team.
